Dollz4moi's Vinyl Musings

I have had a busy weekend. Yesterday I got together with some other doll lovers from the BC.com Barbie board. We all met at The Metropolitan Museum of Art at noon. We all went to check out the Alexander McQueen exhibit Savage Beauty. It was really crowded but the exhibit was worth it. Alexander McQueen was a genius but also seemed disturbed. The setting is very dark and at some points morbid. If you've ever seen the movie The Cell with J-Lo his designs are like that.  We all brought along travel dolls too. My ladies were dressed for a day at the museum. Some of the other ladies were elegantly dressed. We enjoyed ourselves and also had a bride swap. I received a beautiful bride from my friend Isabel.   I checked out some other exhibits and just snapped some pics

Time to try to get back to the fun parts of life. I've been busy helping my Aunt (whom I love dearly) move. Moving is enough work when you have to do it yourself but helping someone else is even more ARGH.  But I will try to get some of my latest purchases photographed and posted. I also have to catch up on all the blogs I follow.  I feel the fun coming back and there is fun to be had :O)

You may be saying ok who is Yuuka? The simple answer is the doll who won my heart :O) Her name is pronounced You-ka and it means Yuu means superior, gentleness and ka means flower or it means pleasantly scented depends on where you check..lol. I saw her picture and had to have her. She is a OOAK former Colette designed by OSS Design. I emailed immediately to see if I can put her on layaway. She wasn't as much as I've seen some OOAK dolls go for but I went for it. She actually arrived yesterday and I am so thrilled. I have to get her a proper shoot. She's much prettier than my photos but I wanted her to be seen. The artist is DK Anderson and here's her website: www.onesixthsense.com

Well since I'm assuming we're all still here I'm going back to my doll business..LOL. It's interesting and now the date is in October (still not believing) While I was out shopping I found a couple of the pre-swap head Fashionista's in the 2 pack.  I found some of the Ty L'il Ones you may have seen here or there. I have a couple coming in the mail since I can't find them in the store :O)  I found this set of Skipper & Chelsea dolls. I like that Skipper has a blue streak in her hair. The Chelsea will end up in the to go pile. I know she's cute but I have enough of the blonde already.  I won this beauty on one of the doll boards I frequent. I always wanted her and now I have her. Now I have to go through some more stuff and get it all listed on eBay this weekend. I must use the 50 free listings I get from them..

For those who may not know at this point today at 6 p.m. the world is supposed to end according to this Harold whatever guy. I only post this to say NOT BUYING IT. But if you do I gladly will accept your money (will provide my paypal addy), definitely your dolls and their clothing too (will provide my snail mail for interested parties). :O) The flaw I see and saw in this is that there was never an established eastern, central, mountain, standard time. I also believe that it's past this time internationally. Seriously isn't May 22 there already..LOL. I am having so much fun with this it's ridiculous. I will be back later to post more doll related stuff. But I'm sayin'....really, seriously, COME ON!!  Do you really think the world would end before we get to see the next season of True Blood?  Got some doll and NDR things to do but I'll be back ;O)

I was out & about this evening and had to shop a little. I really know I can't resist stuff that I want...so there..no guilt involved..LOL. I found a couple of things but these are brand new and I found them at TRU. Now TRU is the last place I find goodies so imagine my surprise to find these. I almost caved on buying a Moxie Teenz doll but I put it back. They even had some new outfits..new to me so not sure if they really were. I also didn't have my camera with me :oz Here are the LIV outfits I found I went to 2 Targets on the hunt for a clothing pack that was plentiful 2 weeks ago. It's the Paris destination clothing pack. I own this set and bought it for someone else then someone else wanted one and of course they disappear..LOL. Just my luck. I also am looking around for ideas of crafts..easy crafts. I hit a couple of Walmart's as well. I will take pics and will post tomorrow. I'm tired it's been quite a day for me. I do have to be up at 6 a....

Yep you read it right...I'll be back in Chicago in October. Now if that's not enough of a hint..I'm going to the Fashion Royalty convention!! October is enough time for me to get it all together. This will be my 1st time going to this and I will have fun. My girlfriends are going too. Now I should see what table we can all land at. I want a fun table of course. I must go check the convention site and see what's good :O)
